Tag Archives: new year’s resolution

Help, I need a 12 step program!!! It is like I woke up one day and *poof* I practically have a fabric store in my sewing cave! Where did it all come from? I promise that I only went to the fabric store once, slightly under the influence, and came back with goodies that I didn’t really need… but that is another story. The rest, well… is history now. Yes, I am girl that fellow QUTI girls come to when they need just a little bit of black, or a little bit of Wonder Under, or a little bit of this or that… yes, I usually deliver and don’t let my girlies down!

So here it goes, a public announcement to the world… wait for it…. wait for it….

I, Linda, vow not to buy any fabric in 2012. There, I said it. Whew… I feel so righteous! Can I do it? Eeek! I have more than I will ever need to complete at least a year’s worth of projects. And to honor our family’s financial goals, it is the least I can do… and I might even have fun at it! My husband better watch his back… you know, literally, as I might need to re-purpose his nice work shirts to stitch in desperate times and desperate measures…

Oh, to all of my online and local retailers, don’t worry, I will still support our nation’s economy with scads of notions, and stuff… you know, it takes more than fabric to make cherished memories!

What is your sewing resolution! I will pick a winner on January 6th based on the most wild, silly and most QUTI comment out there. Happy wild and righteous planning!

Cheers! Linda at Quilting Under The Influence

P.S., aka Footnote, aka disclosure… That doesn’t mean I can’t participate in a fabric exchange or accept fabric gifts… come on, I have to be reasonable with my resolutions, right?
